Celebrity mom Ina Raymundo admitted she got exploited in a film before and compelled to do a daring scene.
In an interview with Abunda on March 29, she admitted she had to expose her whole body.
“Ina, there was a time na gumawa ka ng mga mapangahas, daring films…may pagsisisi [ka ba rito]?” inquired Boy Abunda.
Raymundo answered, “Of course, kung maibabalik ko lang ayokong gawin ‘yun kasi sa totoo lang.. Ito ayokong pag-usapan ‘to, but na-force ako, na-exploit talaga ako.
“May movie akong ginawa na ang usapan ano lang breast exposure tapos ang ending sa movie na they wanted more. So ‘yun talaga parang sobrang dark moment ‘yung time na ‘yun. Buti na lang kumita ‘yung pelikula nang husto so in a way parang na-vindicate.”
But she did not name the film and director that exploited her.
“Basta I don’t even want to mention kung sino ang nang-api sa akin noon pero yeah parang they treated me like a child na sinisigaw-sigawan dahil ayokong gawin ‘yung eksena.
“Meron pang pananakot na isu-sue ako pero kung tutuusin that was just a bluff because wala naman kaming written na usapan na mag-o-all-out ako,” she said.
It is the first time Raymundo opened up about such. She noted how special Abunda is to her.
“Ayoko lang talaga ng gulo. I don’t want controversy but first and last time ko na pag-uusapan ‘yun dahil ikaw ang kausap ko and you’re special to me,” she said.
Raymundo came into prominence in the 1990s for starring in the sexy films Bikini Watch (1995), Lihim (1997), and Burlesk Queen Ngayon (1999).
